Neverland’s manicured lawns and fairy-tale facade masked a house of horrors and madness, five of Michael Jackson’s maids revealed to The Post.

“Michael sometimes ran around where the animals were, and he’d track . . . poop throughout the house and think nothing of it,” Maid No. 1 recalled. “Then, if you said something, he’d threaten to make doo-doo snowballs and throw it at you.”

When Oprah Winfrey visited the Los Olivos, California, ranch for an interview in 1993, it was pristine. Floors were waxed, walls scrubbed and windows power-washed.

It was after she, guest Elizabeth Taylor and TV crews left the next morning that the real Jacko appeared.

“He literally peed on the floor of the entryway, right where you saw Oprah walk in. It was surreal. He just stood there, unzipped his trousers and watered the floor,” Maid No. 2 said.

Jackson had been relatively clean and orderly up until 1993, when 13-year-old Jordan Chandler became the first child to publicly accuse Jacko of molestation.

The accusations sent Jacko into a stupor, with the singer checking into drug rehabilitation in Switzerland and hiding out overseas until attorney Johnnie Cochran secured a guarantee from the Los Angeles district attorney that he would not be arrested upon his return to the States.

“He literally peed on the floor of the entryway, right where you saw Oprah walk in. It was surreal. He just stood there, unzipped his trousers and watered the floor.”

Jacko later paid Jordan and his parents more than $20 million in exchange for the boy’s silence.

“His whole life changed after 1993 when he had to pay that boy off. I’m telling you, he was the dirtiest, most unsanitary person in Hollywood,” Maid No. 3 said.

Robson, who appeared in Jacko’s music videos as a boy, stood by him at his 2005 criminal trial in which the singer was alleged to have molested another young boy, cancer patient Gavin Arvizo.

As a defense witness, Robson said he was never molested by the pop icon — although he and his mother and sister testified that Jacko would cry if denied permission to sleep with him.

But in a court filing made public last week, Robson alleged Jacko raped him as a boy. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff has scheduled an initial hearing in the case for Oct. 6.

Several of Jacko’s former maids are expected to be called as witnesses for Robson. The maids, who worked for Jacko between 1986 and 2004, spoke to The Post on the condition of anonymity.

During the star’s 2005 child-molestation trial, Kristina Fournier, who worked for more than a decade as Jacko’s housekeeper, testified that she saw syringes strewn about the property and that Jacko, usually stoned, regularly babbled unintelligibly.

While Jacko, who died of acute propofol intoxication in 2009, battled child-molestation accusations, his mental state alarmed those he hired to care for his mansion.

“Michael was a messed-up and depraved drug addict. He was twisted,” said Maid No. 3, who recalled how Jacko’s young pals — including Robson, another accuser James Safechuck, actor Macaulay Culkin and several nephews — wreaked havoc.

The maids described young guests tossing bottles and cans around the house. They would engage in hours-long food fights as well as pillow fights, which left feathers covering floors and furniture.

Jacko would object to his sheets being changed. “There were many times I had to sneak in and change his linen. I couldn’t understand how he’d sleep in such filth,” Maid No. 2 said. “There’d be socks and underpants in the bed and half-eaten chicken and potato chips, empty bottles of wine and whiskey on the floor.

“And you knew he wet himself — the place reeked.”

Maid No. 3 said Jacko’s bed, as well as a sofa in the living room, once became infested with bedbugs. “He said, ‘Get them the hell out of here. Call the exterminator,’ ” she recalled. “He said we should do a better job, and he said he knew that we came from poor countries so we were used to bedbugs, but he couldn’t live with them.

“Everybody he brought in to clean, and sometimes we’d even get cleaning services to come in for the extra help. Everybody was repulsed. His bedroom smelled horrible. If everyone else was like me, they hated going in there.”

After Jacko had son Prince in 1997, he began confining his squalor to his own bedroom, she said. “But, not too long afterwards, it was, ‘Here we go again, this man is ungodly.’ ”

The former housekeepers also said Jacko was a hoarder.

“A pack rat in the true sense of the word,” Maid No. 1 said. “He’d keep all of these books that he never read, shirts, hats and other little trinkets that fans would give him, and they’d be in the dining room, the kitchen, all about the floors, and he’d complain if someone put them in a different place, and he’d complain if we didn’t pick them up.

“The amount of stuff he had could have covered that entire ranch, and most of it was junk that he refused to part with.”

Maid No. 2 said only Jacko’s main closet, which held his trademark black tuxedo pants, loafers and sequined jackets, was kept immaculate.

The most scurrilous item Jacko held on to?

“I’d say there were two,” recalled Maid No. 2, who worked at Neverland from 1994 to 1996. “A soiled baby’s diaper, and a pair of Fruit of the Loom that was obviously worn by someone who was either a teen or an early-age adult.”

He also kept a dartboard in the foyer of his bedroom with pictures of DreamWorks founders Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg — who he believed had stolen his idea for the studio and even its boy-on-the-moon logo.

“Any of the children he played with who hit the bull’s-eye would get extra ice cream or anything else they wanted,” said Maid No. 3, who worked from 1996 to 1999. “He hated those guys with a passion. He was surprisingly very anti-Semitic. He’d lead some of the kids in chants: ‘Kill the bastards,’ and ‘Kill the bloodsuckers.’ ”

The maid said Jacko watched in disgust as Spielberg got a Los Angeles Film Critics award in the 1990s.

“It was crazy. He turned into his favorite ‘Twilight Zone’ character, and his eyes kind of bugged out, and he went into this crazy trance, pointing his finger at the television screen and saying, ‘You’re a bad man, a very bad man,’ ” she said, referring to the famed TV series’ character of Anthony Fremont, a boy who “wishes away” anyone who displeases him.

“At first, I thought he’d bust out laughing or something or that he was playing around, but it changed his entire mood. He was dead serious.”

Instead of banishing his foe to a cornfield, as Anthony did, Jacko would wish Spielberg into “Jew hell,” the maid said.

One former housekeeper who worked at the mansion of Jacko’s mother in Encino, California, and at his Los Angeles condo, said the pop star would regularly send out three staffers to buy any magazines they could find that had pictures of his family.

“He was on a mission. There was an old Ebony magazine in which he saw a picture of . . . the Jackson 5. He didn’t like it, and so he would send people out with about $500, and when they brought the magazines back, he’d play a game of confetti where he’d shred pictures of his brothers and sisters and even his parents and throw them all around the halls and into the guest quarters,” Maid No. 1 said.

“He said, ‘Yuck, they don’t deserve to have my name, they are gutless moochers. I’m the only star. They should be cleaning my shoes.’ ”

Stupid people everywhere... it's a shame people actually believe this garbage. Here's a tip: stop slandering a dead man's name. You a-holes have done enough damage. Time to let him rest in peace.Love You, Michael ♥

Quite frankly, I don't buy into any of this. If he was that bad or worse, why did these maids stay. Nobody would stay a day if the place was that bad much less a few years. I think they are just after a cut of the estate.

Before anyone renders any judgments, it's important to remember that no one can really appreciate or understand the cult systemic abuse of Michael Jackson's childhood since those things are very closely guarded by people closest to him and by those inside of that organization:

Is this guy (Stacy Brown) a journalist, or a script writer for MadTV? I remember writing scripts like this in my comedy class at drama school! I especially like the bit about the bed-bugs, ie; "I know you come from poor countries so you are used to them, but I can not stand them!" Haha, it's laugh out loud funny! Not to mention all the pissing and ripping up photo's of the Jackson Five into "confetti"! I know that Michael was stoned from time to time but he'd have to go some to beat whatever acid this Brown guy is taking!

This story is utterly ridiculous, and it was written by no other than...you guessed it!...Stacy Brown. He's always writing false stories about Michael and his family. He has some kind of grudge against the Jacksons. He's been doing this s*** for years.

If you really want to know the Truth about Michael Jackson, listen to an interview of someone who really knew him and worked closely with him. Michael Jackson's friend of 20 years, artist David Nordahl, shares the truthful picture of a man so misunderstood and lied about.

Michael Jackson was a twisted, sick, sad, perverted individual who got away with child molestation because he had money and could buy justice and silence. That the courts and other institutions permitted it is disgusting. I wouldn't call him eccentric - I believe he was severely and seriously disturbed and the drug abuse exacerbated his mental illness.

they are anonymous, lol! Incredible to launch nameless rumors and only with person with numbers. Witnesses always have to say their name because, if not, we can say everything and about everybody without caring to face the truth. Do you think you are a serious and professional journalist? Come back in high scool to revise the bases of the journalism. It is horrible what you are doing and it will turn against yourself , it is on. Be careful before it is too late to save your consciousness and don't forget that behind Michael Jackson, ther are family and children before to say things without proof. Thank you.

The acorn does not fall far from the tree. Joe Jackson verbally and physically abused all of his kids, sexually abused Rebbie (oldest child and most beautiful daughter) and Janet, and made Michael available to perverted pederasts in the music industry who might facilitate Joe's exploitation of their talent. Katherine knew all of this and was an enabler.

The above facts are available to anyone who can use Google. They don't excuse Michael's behavior, but they do help one to understand it. Tina Turner actually shot her shotgun at Randy Jackson when he attempted to practice Joe Jackson type behavior on one of her best friends, in her home. Again, public knowledge. Look it up.

It was an is one effed up family...hopefully some will break the cycle (Rebbie may have).

@Galinou You are an excuse maker. These people worked for him and they worked at different times yet they say the same things. MJ's actions were well documented. This piece of garbage was a great entertainer. But he was a perverted, childish filthy person. If you think he paid 20 million dollars to someone who was lying then YOU are a bigger jerk than he was. There was never any doubt that he molested children. There were always these stories and all his blind, moronic followers just would not accept the truth. MJ was a nasty piece of crap, plain & simple

@JOHN LUJAN I've worked for multiple publications- while the sources are "publicly" anonymous, they are vetted. There are staffers who's entire job is to check the validity of source's claims...or risk the company getting sued if it is printed erroneously. I absolutely believe these accounts for several reasons. It's not just one person speaking out about this....it's five. There's truth in numbers. Secondly they will most likely be called to testify in the upcoming court case, where this article could very well be brought up. They could run into some MAJOR problems in that regard if what they said was fictitious. These aren't new claims by any means. What amazes me is how many people still put Michael on this "do no wrong" pedestal, when close to 100 people very close to him have spoken out about the multitude of issues this man had.

@Jo Ann Campos So because he was a good performer and musician he should get a pass on all the sick and twisted crap he did? People like you are why people like Jackson get away with such horrific acts! You and the people who liked your comments along with people who think along your lines are whats wrong with this world! I take it you would of had no issues with your kids sleeping with MJ!

@Jim Zimba Yes, I'm sure FIVE people collectively said "Let's lie about something that happened 20 years ago...and risk getting into legal trouble over it too, since we will most likely be getting called to testify and if they prove these claims to be false, we're screwed!" MJ had LOTS of staff members, many of whom have already spoken out about the terrible conditions and unstable behavior. These claims could be disproven in 30 seconds flat, as there were MANY others around him at the time, and working for him. You hear the same stories over and over again. There's truth in numbers.

MJ is ridiculously overrated as a musician and performer. His classic songs and albums were really the creations of the Mizell Brothers and Quincy Jones. His dance moves were all copied from others. His stage show was never innovative. Everything after Thriller was a rehash of the old stuff with new top producers.

@Guilherme Reis@modifiedcontent I dunno...as far as "innovating and changing the music industry", he did none of these things. He was a trained pomeranian, and Quincy took advantage of that to make some groovy pop records. Yeah, his videos were famous, but he was hardly the first person to make music videos or have them explode into the world. If you look at the actual history, nothing he did was all that remarkable or innovative. Name one "first" that was MJ's pure invention, that no one else did. And considering he was making 80s synth vanilla pop much like everyone else around him, what exactly was so "ahead of his time" about him? Prince was doing literally the same thing, but by himself, using his own virtuosity and songwriting skills, etc.

The Who's Townsend had that guitar windmill thing. Jimi Hendrix set his guitar on fire - while on acid, no less. Peter Gabriel's costumery and props for Genesis created the most insanely elaborate stage shows of the time. James Brown was a con artist and grifter who moved and sounded like no other human before him - that much we can all agree on - and let's get real, MJ totally watched him as a kid and took his moves. What, did MJ really invent the moonwalk? You think no one tried dancing backwards on stage before him?

The only thing that was different about Jackson is just how aggressively coordinated the advertising campaign was to market him as the greatest pop star to ever grace the stage. Great legacy.

@G@Dross Cool@modifiedcontent Wow please don't spread your unintelligent opinions along any other social websites. The Beatles sold more records than MJ. The Beatles sold more than 700 million albums, Michael Jackson around 200 million. The Beatles sold 156 million in the US (And they're from the UK.) That`s three times as many as Jackson (54 million.) And that's just the tip of the iceberg

@Kevin Stanewicz Live in a bubble ! MJ has sold 1 billion records. He has been tagged as the biggest selling artist for over a decade, on television and everywhere. Get out of your cave. Go check again your so called facts.

@modifiedcontent Show's how little (ignorance!) you know anything about the late "King of Pop"! Do alot of your own research (his interviews etc...) that should answer all your stupidity & ignorance & more about what you just posted!
